Thought I'd post a positive /encouraging post about our ASD dd for people struggling with the beginnings of dx for ASD.
We started off with horrific violent outbursts with dd. we just couldn't cope and sought help. dx for ASD followed and we started to understand more about dd.
4 years later - dd is now 12 and we all get along much better. Dd is learning to recognise triggers and feelings of when she needs help. Often we can help her and things do not escalate out of control too often.
Yes, we have had to change our expectations of dd's behaviour, and ds finds it tough too. But things are much better.
I just want to give hope to anyone struggling with their doc, that it can and probably will get better. It's hard, but totally worth it.
Good luck everyone!
